How does this rum taste?
The Rare Single Cask Rum from Martinique's Le Galion distillery, selected by Alambic, showcases a distinctive profile with notable user comments. Distilled in 2002 from sugar cane juice and aged for five years, this 45% ABV rum emanates fermented and fruity aromas, with hints of honey and vegetal notes. On the palate, it reveals fruity and young wood flavors, alongside a light body. Users describe its texture as thin, with occasional synthetic undertones, diverging greatly in opinion on its overall appeal. While some appreciate its complexity and typicity, others feel it lacks depth and intensity, suggesting fuller potential at a higher proof.

Zwar etwas dünn, aber geschmacklich sehr spannend und gut! Typischer Galion Profil, das in der Verdünnung schon fast Richtung Savanna geht.
Blind mit viel Nähe zu Savanna Grand Arômes, was aber natürlich auch bestens zum Le Galion Profil passt. Hier funktioniert auch die Reduktion, kommt für mich zwar nicht ganz an den schier unglaublichen Preisleistungskracher RX6593, trotzdem ein prima Release. Bleibt nur zu rätseln „Was wäre wenn…“ hier noch etwas mehr Prozente beibehalten worden wären…? Wir dürfen in Fantasien schwelgen.
Netter, unkompliziert trinkbarer Galion. Leider ist der reduzierte Alkoholgehalt dafür verantwortlich, dass sich das Aroma und Geschmack nicht intensiv genug durchsetzen. Bei 53% plus würde die Abfüllung locker die 80er Punktmarke überspringen, da alle Martinique typischen Trademarks vorhanden sind.
Really unsure if I like this one. Menthol and alcohol. Bitter and weird. There is not much happening in the middle. Some yellow fruit in the end. I mean it is not horrible but I don't know if I like it...
